My readers/My Clovers
First off, I want to thank all of my readers for being patient with me while I navigated the unknown waters I found myself thrown into towards the end of last year. If you're in my reader group, then you know what I'm talking about and I want to thank you all so much for supporting me through what has been one of the most trying times in my life to date. Your support, friendship, and kind words don't go unnoticed. Much of the time, they help get through the dark days. I wish I could name and personally thank you all but it would make up an entire book of its own, so I'll have to settle with this instead. You know who you are, girls, and I love and appreciate every last one of you, more than I can ever express on a tiny acknowledgement slot at the back of a book. As for the girls in the Clovers? You have become an extension of my family. I care so much about every one of you, from your kids to your love lives, your tears and your banter, I really do love you all. I feel like I'm investing in you guys and I'm always cheering in your corner. So, thank you for continuing to read my work, for putting food on the table for my family, and being my friends. I might have some hits and misses along the way, but I'll keep trying harder each time for you guys. x.x.x

What can I say that hasn't been said before? Your friendship is so important to me. Honestly, I don’t think there's been a week gone by in the past two years when we haven't talked on the phone – often several times daily. You’re a tremendous friend, a gifted writer, and one of the greatest people I've had the pleasure of meeting. Love you loads, girl.
Aleesha Davis
The Bonnie to my Clyde. The milk to my teabag. The bud to my weiser. Girl, you were the best business decision I ever made and I thank god every day that Alycia put me on the right track to find you girls. Seriously, where would I be without you? No one gets my brain like you do. You always have my back, even when I'm being a fecking eejit and every time I hear the lyrics of Train's Drops of Jupiter, especially the part about 'your best friend always sticking up for you', I think of you. Thank you so much for being not only wonderful at your job but for being a treasured friend for life. I love you long time.
Mam and Dad
Well, guys, one thing has to be said and it's that you two are bossing this co-parenting gig. From wonderful parents to even more terrific grandparents, it's quite clear that I would be lost without both of you. Thank you for hanging in there with me, even though I can be a massive pain in the hole – your words, Ma, not mine. I love you both so much. I might be closing in on thirty, but I don’t think there will ever be a day where I feel like I don’t need you both. Thank you so much for loving me and my babies.
Tanya Ruby Brant Holmes
My little puppy, so small and cute that I just want to squish you with cuddles. I have so much time for you. You're a wonderful storyteller and a loyal and caring friend. I'm so glad that I met you and you're in my life. I know I have a friend in you and that means the world to me. Love you hard, chickie – oh, and hi, Tanya's mammy.
C.J. Welles
The chocolate bar lady – as my kids like to call you, lol. Thank you so much for all of the amazing care packages you send us. I don’t deserve a friend as good as you and I'm so honored by the amazing things you say about my work – I probably don’t deserve that, either. Ha-ha. You are a wonderful person, super talented, and a great friend. Never doubt that. Thanks for being the Aussie to my Paddy.
Brooke Bowen Hebert
One of the warmest and loving people I've ever met in my life. Brooke, girl, you are something special. A fearless mama and a warrior friend, I love you so much. You always brighten up my days with your filthy mind – that matches mine. Those gifs and memes are something else. Thank you so much for your hard work and loyal friendship. You always make my smile. Love you hard. <3
Casey, Adriana, Sophie, and all of the wonderful bloggers out there supporting indie authors
Girls, you are worth your weight in gold and you don’t even realize it. I'm not a shy person per say, but I've never been one to put myself out there, and yet you guys stick in there with me and support me throughout every release. I'm always humbled and awed by your kind words and online support. Thank you so much for your generosity with your time and relentless support. It is deeply appreciated by this author.
Basically, I just want to say thanks to everyone and stay tuned.
As the saying goes; the best is yet to come.
